I have a CNC plasma cutter that requires 105 to 125 psi air pressure to operate correctly. When I first installed it, I jacked the psi on my main air compressor up to 125 psi. This was too much for the rest of the shop as it had always been 80 to 115 psi range.
I have a refrigerated moisture removal unit after the main compressor.
I had installed a secondary air compressor close to the plasma cutter so I could use the existing dried air to feed the plasma. In order to get it to run, because the supplied shop air was too much pressure and the pump just stalled when trying to start, I installed a Asco valve to start and stop flow, a regulator to cut the pressure feeding a/c #2 down to 30 psi (normal air pressure is 29.9 or there about). These two items were before the 2nd a/c. There are 3 one way flow control valves in there too.
The issue I am having now is that my regulation system is choking the flow, just wondering if someone else had an issue like this and what was their solution?
